Reproaches dictated by self-hatred and shame, trying to force myself to do something? Such tactics threaten endless variations of weight, constant anxiety and frustration to themselves, injuries from training. Losing weight, you will seek to lose weight more, and playing sports, you izvedet yourself to the max, but a satisfactory result did not get, you will always be unhappy.
However, there are five tips that will help you to come to harmony with itself, that will help you change yourself for the better, not killing the endless stress. Here they are:

To accept

Adoption of your body for what it is, does not mean that you do not want to change anything. This does not mean that you leave your desire to be healthy and turn into voracious slush. This means that you stand on the path of commitment to health with kindness and compassion for yourself, not with guilt, shame, and strict belief "in fact it should be". Adoption gives you a clear notion of where you are now and what you strive for. And it brings a lot more motivation than self-loathing, which is accompanied by thinking, "I should ..."

Thoughts about how much you "should" weigh how fast you "should" run, how strong / slim / toned you "should" be, generate only dissatisfaction.

Ashamed of your body will make you more likely to give up exercise or practice with such zeal and bitterness that you just hurt yourself. Understanding the order, at what stage you are now, to help you come to training consciously, with kindness to yourself and be happy.

stop comparing

Stop comparing yourself to others or even with itself five years ago. Comparison - thief of joy, since it leads to a self-satisfied admiring or to a sense of inferiority and shame. But you already know that shame kills motivation.

And in this particular moment of the life you have a unique opportunity, admit it, open your eyes and realize how much all the same amazing life.

Excellent first step will be - to sit on a media diet.
Get rid of the magazines that promote ridiculous ideals of beauty. Of course, mind you realize that even the models in the photos are absolutely perfect, their beauty is brought to perfection with the help of a whole arsenal of tools, including post-processing the image in a photo editor, but your subconscious mind still retains the images and slips you as that to which it is necessary to seek.
The less you will be surrounded by pictures, which you could compare yourself, the better your psychological state.

It should abandon even magazines about health and fitness, because ultimately they are too much emphasis on pictures beefy men and women, and that your subconscious mind is working against you again, forcing again feel ashamed of your body.

Turn off the internal bore

Surely each of us is a nasty inner voice that endlessly nags, criticizes, accuses... He I interest you to be perfect in everything that opens up such mysteries, in which you never did I admit it.

He scolds you for each eaten cake and every day, when you miss a workout. But, despite the fact that this voice - part of you, you absolutely do not have to anxious to listen to everything that he'll squeak.

After all, in fact, these violent, constantly repeated message that it is trying to convey to you, bring only the endless anxiety. This is not a true statement about your personality and your potential.

Enable internal another

So easy to convert your critical monologues, if you imagine that your inner voice - your best friend. Initially, of course, it will be very easy: drag your will not want to be friends with you. And I'll have to teach him that. Every time you start to hear the first bursts of criticism, just think about what would be in this situation, you say to your best friend? The closest person? Whatever words you have tried to calm him down and motivate? What do you say families that need compassion?

Agree, it is unlikely you will tell them the same thing internally say to yourself. So, one should try to talk to yourself like your best friend. Allow yourself to be kinder to yourself, love yourself as the nearest person.

Be considerate to yourself

Self-awareness in the moment and focus on the experiences and your condition in the present - the combination of these two elements at the same time gives you the freedom and at the same time firmly holds on his feet.

In our time, when we are available for any communication channels 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, learn to pay attention to yourself - it's very important. To learn to be grateful for all the things of life, that it gives, we must first learn to appreciate every moment of it, try to slow down now to feel the taste of each day.

Such care reduces the internal alarm and helps avoid "seizing" stress. You will pay attention to whether you are really hungry or if you want to chew anything, because you are overwhelmed with emotions. Focus on their inner feelings also helps during training, you do everything consciously, and increased quality.

How to learn to be more attentive to her? 10 minutes a day to devote to to sit quietly and breathe. Your goal here is not to discard the negative thoughts, and not to do anything not to think. The aim is to quietly observe your thoughts without connecting to the thought processes of judgment or criticism. Every time you feel that this happens, focus on the physical sensations: to inhale and exhale.
The development of care definitely takes practice, but after a while you will notice the benefits that this practice will make in all areas of your life.
